We had a reservation for 4pm since we were bringing our baby, but as 4pm drew closer, we realized we weren’t going to be able to make it. I called the restaurant and they were able to change my reservation last minute to 4:30! Super helpful. They sat us quickly in a perfect corner booth seat. Service and food were great! Our waitress was attentive and so kind to our little baby. Made for a lovely dining experience!

Burger was delicious. Crab cake is full of fresh crab, but could use a little more of the sauce. The slaw served with it is very good too. However, I think the crab cake the boathouse used to have was better. Appreciated the complimentary plate of veggies to start. Offering some bread would be nice too.
